Although the Price Chair in Public Interest Law and the USD School of Law support CPIL’s academic component, Professor Fellmeth and CPIL professional staff must raise additional funding to finance the Center’s advocacy component. Such additional funding is generated through private foundation and government grants, test litigation in which CPIL is reimbursed its attorneys’ fees, compensated public interest intervention before the state Public Utilities Commission and Department of Insurance, and individual contributions.

Contributions to the Center for Public Interest Law are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law, and help to finance the representation of diffuse, powerless, and future interests, and to educate a new generation of public interest advocates.

Please send contributions to: Center for Public Interest Law, University of San Diego School of Law, 5998 Alcalá Park, San Diego, CA 92110, or call 619-260-4806.
